Answer 1

Hi,
data: v_str type string,
        v_version_old(3) type n,
        v_version_latest(3) type n.
loop at itab.
v_str = itab-field1.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX '\D' IN v_str  WITH ''.
condense v_str.
move v_str to v_version_old.
if v_version_latest LT v_version_old.
   v_version_latest = v_version_old.
endif.
endloop.
Finally v_version_latest contains the maximum number.
